Absolutely gorgeous Ray! I really like the focal point of this pattern, the wing! From the side it looks like the fibers are rolled or clumped in the usual way! Then you showed us the top view of this beauty! That is spectacular! So natural looking from any angle! You should be rewarded with a beaut...

I like it Norm especially the body work! So crazy beautiful!

Dearest New River, Wow! Incredibly beautiful and delicate flies! The color combo's (not only the body but all over) are incredible! The partridge hackle is beautifully dark and I have a particular liking for them recently! I was glad to see you used it in your patterns! Please, please, please keep c...

Wow Bill! I really like this one! What a great variation you have made! I think I'd better get my stuff back out!

T-12,

Thanks for sharing this jewel with us!

Same here Mike and Ray! A big belly laugh out of that one! I have a scar on my right calf from a rooster named Dwayne "The Barred Rock" Johnson. Dwayne now resides in my daughters freezer and is scheduled for a casual mingling with some noodles in the near future! I still have the scar! Le...

Good Evening Guys, Ray...you rascal! A sincere THANK YOU goes out to you for posting my version of Mark Libertone's Soft Pink Lady! I really appreciate you doing this for me! The materials for this pattern are kept in a Zip-lock bag in a special box in my den closet. I call it a pre-pack. I do this ...

Norm, I don't know how I missed this one! It is, with the color combo's, very patriotic! Red, Silver, and Blue! All of it brought together in a most special way as only you can assemble it friend! Thanks for every pattern in this series! Thanks for every one of the patterns you do on this forum! I'm...

Look out Hazel! You are killing it with the beautiful blue plumage that you are showing us lately! It is just icing on the cake friend for it sets on top of some of the most exquisite tying I've ever encountered! What a stunning pattern Norm! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
